Either way, the article concludes with the vendor saying he think its just an issue with tweaking their algorithms, and not an actual tactic from Amazon.
Is there any other source that claim the same?

Someone got shot by police? Not newsworthy, happens all the time. Politicians taking bribes? Not newsworthy, been happening forever.
I regret writing "not newsworthy" now. Although the point I made still stands: this is nothing new.
I've seen a lot of these comments post-Snowden revelations, even though they were false, and that the mass-scale on which the NSA surveillance operated was indeed new - at least a decade new, but even newer if you consider how many people knew about it until then.
I've become more and more disillusioned by Amazon over the years. Prices are now almost never the best; I only buy from them when I need something quickly (and can't get it locally). NewEgg (nearly) always has better tech prices. Walmart often has better prices on everyday items and I can have it immediately. I just bought a pair of tweezers at my local grocery store for two bucks that was $6 on Amazon for the same m…
I have saved thousands of dollars thanks to Amazon. Not because I bought from them. No, but because I use their app to compare items and get a price match. Nearly every major store (Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Best Buy, Staples, Office Max/Depot) match or beat Amazon. With Amazons app I can instantly scan all my products at a store. I may only save 2-5 dollars per item, but I do it every time I shop. The other day I…
Go to a brick and mortar jewelry store, everything is 100% off.
100% off is free, no matter what the base price is, so that's clearly not true. (Though, oddly, it's not uncommon online, with a “just pay (inflated) shipping and handling charge” proviso.)

So it appears in practice Amazon is cheaper, at least until local stores price match.

Home depot does not price match IME. I tried to buy a portable AC a few weeks ago and they wouldn't price match against anyone.
There were real deals on Amazon hardware devices (Echo, Fire, etc). Most everything else was "meh". camelcamelcamel.com is your friend to research how good of a deal it really is. (no affiliation, just a happy user)
I second the recommendation for 3camels, and not just for Prime Day. I bought quite a bit on Prime Day - all of which I'd had in my cart / wish list for months and all of which were well below their actual price (per 3camels). I also saw quite a few products that were well above their normal prices, while showing as "80% off" because the prices were raised a week before. I didn't see anything that drastic from Sold-B…

Is that actually the same bike? Walmart seems to sell things under the same name as other retailers, but with some 'cost reducing' features... at least they have in the past. Also, I presume GMC doesn't actually make these, any idea who does?
Yes it is the same awful bike. Kent International owns the brand it does some assembly in South Carolina, the parts and frames come mainly from China and Taiwan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_International
If you look at the descriptions, the Walmart one seems to be a large, and the color is not offered on Amazon. Now if you look at a large one from Amazon in red, you see its already 199$ instead. So size and color seem to be priced differentially.

FOX is fishing for how Amazon could be hurting consumers so as to get anti trust litigation going. It is not illegal to be a monopoly but if it is hurting consumers it is fair game. My opinion Amazon is NOT hurting consumers but rather Trump and the Republicans want to hurt it. YMMV
Conservatives can be looking to hurt Amazon and Amazon can be hurting consumers at the same time. I don't see how you can argue that lieing to consumers is not hurting them
FoxNews can be right once in a full moon.
